Hey All,

So trying to get my Donkey Kong back to life. Tried Arcadeshop.coms power supply conversion kit w/ a switcher and also a known working original PS swap. No luck. Looks like my terminal block/isolation transformer is hosed. How to replace?

Don't find anything at Mikesarcade.com which is the source for all Dk. Didnt know DK was bound by term block which is usually monitor power only on games. I get power to marquee only. No monitor or PCB.

Please help.

Check the usual suspects; Fuses, wiring, power and cut off switches. I am learning more and more about cabs but pics of the patient is very helpful. There is usually a white switch in the back that cuts off power when the back door is removed and some can be pull out to power up while testing. Just saying as it may be it and an easy fix. Usually the marquee will not light if that switch is not closed or pulled though.

Todd at TNT Amusements has sold a lot of DK type power supplies in the past..might look him up and see if he has the transformer assy.
 
Hi! I have the bottom transformer assembly complete with power supply for $50 plus shipping...or if you do NOT need the power supply, $25 plus shipping. Todd
 
This may be obvious but just make sure you don't plug the monitor into the wall.

Also, DK boards can be really flakey with non-standard power supplies. Some boards will work fine with non-factory power supplies and some will act up.
